| bjsnider | it will be ready in a few years | 00:26 |
|---|---|---|
| bjsnider | that's what people have been saying for more than a few years | 00:26 |
| IdleOne | Keep on saying it and one they it will be right | 00:27 |
| IdleOne | :) | 00:27 |
| roasted | darkxst: good deal! Ubuntu GNOME in particular made me super curious since I would think Gnome wuold largely be Wayland, but Ubuntu GNOME... there's more of a balance there between the two. | 02:05 |
| roasted | on the upside, I believe Mir lit a fire under Wayland's tail to get development going. Seems to be going nicely on both fronts now. | 02:06 |
| roasted | also, in Ubuntu GNOME, I mentioned earliet aht I could not set my away status/availability under the menu in the upper right. | 03:22 |
| roasted | Someone said they scrolled over it and it worked. | 03:22 |
| roasted | Which works for me but I cannot CLICK To get the drop down like I used to. | 03:22 |
| roasted | Not sure if it's a bug or if my particular install is just weird. | 03:22 |
| bjsnider | third possibility: it is a deliberate choice by the gnome developers | 03:31 |
| roasted | could be | 03:32 |
| roasted | not sure it makes much sense though | 03:32 |
| roasted | then again some choices Gnome has made hasn't made much sense, so... :P | 03:33 |
| bjsnider | here's what you can do | 03:33 |
| bjsnider | head on over to gimpnet | 03:33 |
| bjsnider | go to the gnome-shell channel. all of the developers are in there on a work day | 03:33 |
| bjsnider | and you just ask them, is what you do | 03:34 |
| bjsnider | owen has said before that if you can convince them of something, you can change things | 03:34 |
| roasted | I shall do that | 03:34 |
| bjsnider | it's not a good time now though | 03:34 |
| roasted | as it stands I still have to use the cups printing web interface since the gnome printing GUI is neutered | 03:34 |
| roasted | perhaps I should fir ethat out there too | 03:35 |
| * bjsnider enjoys sending angry people to gimpnet to complain and whatnot | 03:35 | |
| atrus | anything special you need? i went through the gnome 3.8 printing ui the other day, and it worked much better than it used to. granted, that was on fedora 19. | 03:35 |
| roasted | atrus: I'll have to give it another shot when I'm done renovating my basement. Currently I have no printers on my LAN since they're stashed elsewhere. | 03:36 |
| roasted | but last I used Gnome with printing, it didn't pick up either printer. | 03:36 |
| roasted | It just makes no sense to cut out LPD and manual input capabilities for printers. | 03:36 |
| roasted | An advanced drop down menu would make far more sense. | 03:36 |
| roasted | Auto detection by default, or an advanced menu to put things in manually. Bam, winner. | 03:37 |
| bjsnider | works fine here but i only use epson printers | 03:37 |
| bjsnider | due to superior linux drivers | 03:38 |
| roasted | I have an epson printer... | 03:38 |
| roasted | and an HP laserjet. | 03:38 |
| bjsnider | you tried to set up an epson printer and it wasn't recognized? | 03:42 |
| bjsnider | hard to believe | 03:42 |
| roasted | neither was recognized | 03:42 |
| roasted | however, I didn't try it on 3.8 | 03:42 |
| roasted | I only hopped on 3.8 about a week ago, and my basement remodel (where my office is) has been going on for a month. | 03:43 |
| bjsnider | it would have been recognized no matter what | 03:44 |
| roasted | Well, I didn't see either when I tried last. | 03:46 |
| bjsnider | check localhost:631 | 03:47 |
| roasted | when I hooked it up via LPD in the CUPS web UI I got both working in no time. | 03:47 |
| roasted | but the auto detect in GNOME picked up nothing | 03:47 |
| roasted | tried it a dozen times. | 03:47 |
| roasted | I wish Gnome ran better on this nettop. AMD E450 just aint doing it. | 03:54 |
| Munchor | guys you should ask | 10:34 |
| Munchor | worldofgnome.org to share your need for alpha testers btw :) | 10:35 |
| roasted | bjsnider: Epson printer showed up right away this time. :D | 14:32 |
